RedSky Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 We'll see how the rest of the month plays out, but so far this May is reminding me of May 2003 ... worst May ever! Was the worst spring month ever most likely. Philadelphia set the record of 15 or 16 days straight with measurable precipitation and the temperatures were cool. The sun came out on a warm day that June and I dropped to my knees and looked to the heavens... Too make matters worse I had just got my shiny red sports car a month earlier, too say I was disgruntled with that weather would be a huge understatement.

RedSky Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 We have some ridiculous for the season chill coming on the weekend. 56F for a forecast high Sunday under mostly sunny skies in mid May? Frost in the coldest outlying regions seems a possibility Monday morning if the winds subside. Remember only one other time of a frost chance this late in my lifetime it was the early 80's and I think around Mat 10th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevumd Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Hi All, I am conducting a survey on the AmericanWX site as part of a graduate student research project at UMBC. All submissions will remain anonymous, individuals will not be identified, and the data and results will only be used for this class paper (the results will not be published). The survey should only take 10 minutes, and will be open until Saturday, May 14 at 12 noon EST. The first ten (10) people to respond will receive a $5 Amazon gift card within 24 hours of submission. To participate, please visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F7KF6L2. Thanks!Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treckasec Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 The short-range models have been okay. According to most of them, the stronger looking convection builds more around Delaware/Maryland, along with SNJ (closer to the coast). I'm waiting to see if any convection builds up soon. So far the band of rain is still just a band of rain. Here's the current AFD. 1230 PM Update...Adjusted the hourly temperatures up a bit in the very near term and increased the clouds a bit faster eastward. A bit cooler along the coast with a southeast wind component. Cumulus continues to develop, however the 12z Sterling, VA raob showed a cap in place. This should erode by late afternoon per forecast soundings. No major changes made otherwise. A vigorous upper-level trough is moving our way today. The water vapor imagery shows this feature well along with an area of deeper ascent along its leading edge. An associated strong cold front will also be moving into our area later this afternoon. Sunshine resulting in ample heating, however clouds are increasing. As the cold front moves closer to our area along with increasing large scale lift, we are expecting a line of showers and embedded thunderstorms to develop to our west. Several of the high-resolution models suggest an intensifying convective line later this afternoon as it moves across much of our area. There is 40-50 knots of flow in the 700-500 mb layer and the convection will be able to tap into this. The forecast soundings indicate the convection will be low- topped given less moisture in the lower levels (PW values less than an inch) and therefore lower instability. It is the more limited moisture that has us leaning toward less coverage of more robust convection. However given the strong unidirectional flow and incoming focused ascent, a linear convective mode may lead to embedded bowing structures and therefore strong surface winds. The forecast soundings also indicate an inverted-V profile in the lower levels, which tends to enhance downward momentum of rain cooled air. While some hail is possible given cooling aloft, the low-topped nature of the convection should limit the size. We therefore maintained the gusty wind mention with the thunderstorms, however did add a mention in the hazardous weather outlook to match up.
